Most premium dog food arrives frozen, on a schedule, in an insulated box you have to be home for. There is a version that does not.
This page is written for owners in Memphis TN — Premium Delivery weighing up freeze-dried raw. The nutrition below holds wherever you live — what changes locally is delivery, not diet — so we would rather give you the substance than pad it with things we cannot actually verify about your city.
Working out what to order
Order size follows from the feeding chart rather than guesswork. A 14 oz bag is about 7.8 cups; a 50 lb dog fed a quarter bowl uses a little under a cup a day, so a bag runs roughly eight days.
Set the interval from that, then adjust once after the first cycle.
The quarter-bowl answer
Feed Loyal Saints as about 25% of the bowl, replacing a quarter of the existing food rather than adding on top. Because the food is concentrated rather than diluted, a quarter still puts real freeze-dried raw into every meal.
At Halo Club pricing that is about $4.04 a day for a 50 lb dog and $5.48 for a 75 lb dog.
What you are actually paying to ship
Fresh refrigerated food is roughly three-quarters water by weight. That water is portioned, chilled, packed with single-use coolant and driven to your door, then occupies your freezer until you use it.
Cold chain logistics is one of the most expensive ways to move anything, which is why it is normally reserved for medicine and seafood.
Shelf-stable changes the logistics
Freeze-drying removes the water before the food ships. No refrigeration, no thawing, no freezer shelf, no delivery window, and no ruined box if a courier runs a day late in July.
It also travels — a weekend away or a stay at the vet does not require a cooler.
You are not paying to ship water
Fresh refrigerated food is roughly three-quarters water by weight, and that water is chilled, boxed with coolant and driven to your door on a schedule.
Freeze-drying removes it before shipping. No refrigeration, no thawing, no freezer shelf, no delivery window — and if you want the moisture back, it comes free from your own tap.
Rehydrating, and when it helps
You can feed it straight from the bag. Adding roughly equal parts warm water helps in four cases: a dog who does not drink enough, a suspicious eater being transitioned, a dog who eats too fast, and mixing into an existing bowl so it clings rather than sifting.
Warm, not hot — the point is that this food has never been cooked. Once rehydrated, treat it as raw meat and refrigerate leftovers.
Why the scoop looks small
A cup of Loyal Saints weighs 50.9 g and carries 230 calories. A cup of a typical adult kibble weighs 101 g. Same cup, roughly twice the food by weight.
Per gram, Loyal Saints carries about 29% more energy. That inversion is why the correct portion looks stingy in the bowl, and why most people overfeed in the first week.
If you are switching from kibble
Do not match the old volume. This food weighs about half what kibble does per cup, so the correct portion looks smaller than you expect and matching by eye overfeeds.
Common questions
Does it need refrigeration?
No. It is shelf-stable because the water is gone. Store it sealed in a cupboard.
Is there a subscriber discount?
Halo Club members hold 20% off every order, not just the first.
What if my delivery is delayed?
Nothing spoils. That is the practical advantage of shelf-stable over frozen.
